THE BXUSTOX. XAN. MEMOIRS and CORRESPONDENCE of JJMES ACLAND, Proprietor and Editor- written by Himself. « I LIKE HONESTY IN ALL PLACES"— Judge Vayley. Printed and Published by JAMES ACXAND ( SOLE PROPRIETOR AN » EDITOR; at No. 4, All'Saints'sftfeet, Rristol. ' VOL. II.— No. VII.] SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1829. [ Price tld. MEM.— A highly vxlued subscriber some time since transmitted me a a sih'tf pencil case which had been found by him. If the oulier will applt,/ to me, I shall be happtj to restore it. J. A. To the HOUSE- HOLDERS of BRISTOL. Ftlluw Rate- Payers. The inauspicious state 6f the weafher, on Wednesday last, induced me to postpone tb^ Public Meeting'for consideration of the best means for the attainment of justice, in the case of our fraudulent Clerk and'criminally negligent Commissioners, until MONDAY N'EXT, w> hen 1 propose meeting you, or such of you as Tegard the sacred rights of private property and public justice, on YOUR OWN BRANDON IIILL, At a Qvaifer after'One o'clock. Ifyou are alive to your own interests, I ntfed not urge to you the importance and, ne- cessity of the immediate adoption of legal meahs for the protection of those interests. If, on the other hand, the gross abuse of the powers of your officers haa not awakened you to a full sense of such necessity, I shall bs content with having, at least, discharged my duty to you and to myself. If the person who rents tha property of the Citizens from those who have no right to let it, persists in locking the gates, I shall take my statiou in the road opposite Queen's Parade. If the locks should, be off, I shall proceed to the situation occupied by us, at our first meeting. I have to acknowledge the reeeipt of £ h from a " Rate Payer of Redcliff Ward," towards the expences. Ycur's faithfully, JAMES ACLAND. To the EDITOR of THE BRISTOHIAN. SIR., Bristol, 4th Nov/ 1829. From the fair and upright manner in which you have always acted as regards the exposure of-"*' fraud," asTcan give no better term to the present transaction, yoH will greatly oblige me, an old subscriber, by inserting the same. On Monday evening last, - being in Wine, street, I observed acrowd of people collected round the window Of the " Bristol Clrtth Estab- lishment," opposite Mr. Evans's, the hatter, when I found a man had entered the shop for the purpose of buying a waistcoat- pi'- ce, which wasmarked up in the shop window at 3s. § d., but on the- man's tendering the said sum, they re- fused to take less thanTk'e shillings, stating, by way of a put off, that it was another pattern ( placed near the above by way of bait) which they could- sell at 3s. 9d. Certainly this is a species of " fraud" that ought to be checked; besides, these folks profess to sell at a tremen- dous sacrifice, to the injury of the fair dealer, and to the public at large. By your inserting the above in your truly valuable publication, you will greatly oblige Tour obedient servant, LOOKER ON. MM.— The Trick of Trade " alluded to by my correspondent, is now very generally prac- tised. It is unquestionably fraudulent, and decidedly vvtradesmanlike. It is a practice xohlch is the necessary result of a cutting trade, and so long as there shall be individuals who, somehow or other can afford to retail under the wholesale price, so long will it continue. ' But it is the duty of the public to resist, and of a public man to expose such disgraceful and deceptive practices. At the same time, I beg to add, that I have had many dealings at the Cloth Establish- ment, against which the present charge is brought, and that I have always experienced fair and , honorable treatment in my transactions. J. A. To Drs. J. G. POWELI, E. KENTISH, Trustees for the Share- holders of a Freehold Premises in Broad- Street, denominated the ROYAL YORK LODGE, & C. GENTS. Allow me as a Share- holder'to put a few questions es to your Trusteeship of the above Premises. Is not the said'premises held by 80 shares at ! i » i' pounds per share, anil wus it rot particular- ly stipulated that those shares should bear five per cent interest? Has any interest ever beets paid to the Share- holders— if so, by whom and how much ? Was it not positively agreed upon that the Share- holders should have regular parchment deeds for the amouncof their shares, signed by the Trustees, and do not the principal part of the Sliere- holders hold only the receipt of Dtr. Powell for ' their money, and he refusing to give any further security ? Have you not lor years been receiving - be* tween sixty and seventy pounds per annum, rents for the said premises, and what is become of the money ? Did the Share- holders appoint you trustees, or yourselves ? 1 ask jou these few questions as a first step of bringing you to 31 settlement; 1 could enter much further into this business with you, but as'I have no other wish but to obtain something like justice at your hands in this case , and no wish to bring you or mjself before the public—' I at this time shall content myself with signing myself a Share- holder of the above premises, being well convinced that you will easily comprehend who is the author of this, if not thfi Editor will satisfy you on that head. A SHARE- HOLDER. MEM.— As the fraternity of masons profess to act on- the square, Drs. K, and P. will readily draw the right line in this case. J. A. 25' THE BRISTOL! AN MAGNA CI1ARTA. ( Concluded from mj/ last./ 69. All the aforesaid customs and liberties which we have granted to beholden in our king-[ « tom, as much as it belongs to us towards our I people— all our subjects, as well clergy as laity, shall observe as far as they are concerned towards ( heir dependants. 70. And whereas, for the honor of God, and • the amendment of our kingdom, and for queting the discord ( hat has arisen between U. s and our barons, we have granted all the things aforesaid willing to render them firm and lasting, we do give and grant our subjects the following secu- rity ; namely, that ihe barons may choose five and twenty barons of the kingdom, whom they think convenient, who shall take care, wiih all their might to hold and observe, and cause to be observed, the peace and liberty we have granted them, and by this our present charter confitroed. So as that if we, our justiciary, our bailiffs, or any of our officers, shall in any case fail in the performance of them, towards- any person— or shall break through any of these articles of peace and security, and the offence is notified to four barons, chosen out of the five and twenty afore- mentioned, the aid four barons shall repair to Us, or our justiciary, if we are out of ( he realm, and laying open the grievance, shall petition to have it redressed withont delay ; . and if it is not redressed byr Us, or, if we should chance to be out of the realm, if it is not redressed by our justiciary within forty days, reckoning frcpi the time it has been notified to Us, or to uur justi- ciary if we should be out of the realm ; the four barons shall lay the cause before the rest of the 25 barons, and the said 25 barons, to- gether with the community of the whole king- dom, shall distrain and distress us all the ways possible, namely, by seising our castles, lands, possessions, and in any other manner they can till the grievance is redressed according to their pleasure, saving harmless our own person, and the person of our queen and children; and when it, is redressed, they shall obey Us as before. . 71. And any person whatsoever in the king- dom may swear ( hat he will obey the orders of the five and twenty barons aforesaid, in the exe- cution of the premises, and that he will distress us, joinlly with them, to the utmost of his power; and we give public and free liberty to any one that will swear to them, and never shall hinder any person fiom taking the same oath. 72. As for all those of our subjects, who will not, of their own accord, swear to join the five and twenty barons in distraining and distressing us, we will issue'our order to make them take the same oath, as aforesaid. 73. And if any one of the five and twenty barons dies, or goes out of the kingdom, or is hindered any other way, from putting the things aforesaid in execution, the rest of the said five and twenty barons may chuse another in his room, at their discretion, who shall be sworn in like manner, as the rest. 74. In all things that are committed to the charge of these five and twenty barons, if, when they are all assembled together, they should happen to disagree about any matter, or some of them, when summoned, will not, or cannot come whatever is agreed upon or enjoined by the major part of those who are present, shall be reputed as firm and valid, as. if all the five and twenty had given their consent, and the afore- said five and twenty shall swear that all the pre- mises they shall faithfully observe, and cause with all their pt> wer to be observed. 75. And we will not, by ourselves, or others, procure any thing, whereby any of these con- cessions and liberties be revoked or lessened; and if any such thing be obtained, let it be null and void :— neither shall we ever make use of it, either by ourselves or any other. 76. And all the ill- will, anjjer, and malice, that hath arisen between us and our subjects, of the clergy and laity from the first breaking out of the dissenlion between us, we do fully remit and forgive. Moreover, all trespasses occasioned by the said dissention, from Easter in the six- teenth year of our reign, till the restoration of peace and tranquility, we hereby entirely remit, to all clergy, as well as laity, and as far as in Us lies, do fully forgive. 77. We have moreover granted them our let- ters pafent testimonial of Stephen Lcrd Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Ilenry Lord Archbishop of Dublin, and the Bishops aforetaid, as also of Master Pandulph, for security of concessions aforesaid. 78. Wherefore we will, and firmly enjoin that the church of England be free, and that all men innur kingdom have and hold, all the aforesaid liberties, rights, and concessions, truly and peace- ably, freely and quietly, fully and wholly, to themselves and their heirs. of Us and our heirs, in all things and places, for ever, as aforesaid. 79. It is also sworn, as well on our part, as on the part of the barons, that all the things aforesaid shall faithfully , and sincerely be observed. Given under our hand in the presence of the • wit- nesses above- named, and many others, in the Meadow called Running mede, between Wind- lesore and Stanes, the 15th day of June, in the 17th year of our reign- o So as we are first acquainted therewith or our justiciary, if we should not be in England. o And in the same manner, about ad. ministering justice, deafforesting the forests, letting them continue. Either in England or Wales— For ever— The above are the articles contained in the two copies of the original, which are of undoubted anti- quity, and as old as King. John. Another is in the British Museum. They all begin with " SO.'' and end with " FOR EVER,'' a sure mark of their intend- ed immortalduration,''. - TO MY READERS. Lovers of Honesty in all Places You are aware that when I was in Bristol Gaol, on the prosecution of the Worshipful members of the Bristol Corporation, proceedings were instituted against me, in the Court of Ex- chequer, on the information of somebody for ths recovery of Penalties, to which 1 had rendered myself liable, as Proprietor, Editor, and Pub- lisher, of the1' Bristolian" NEWSPAPER. Now it need not be told you that, when a poor devil has one foot in the Exchequer Court, he has the other in a Prison, and the fair odds on his- ruin are, at the least, a hundred to one. ilence, you have possibly felt some concern, on this head, for the imminent danger lo which I had subjfC'ed myself, and into which there were not wanting fiends, who, with their devilish prongs, would have goaded me onwards to an interminable incarceration. I believe that the fact of my persecution, by the ill- reputed Corporation of this City, and my imprisonment at their instance, at the peiiod when the state of proceedings in the Exchequer required my appearance in that Couit— Ibelieve these circumstances to have operated on the hu- manity of the law officers of the Crown; and that the prosecution was allowed to lapse; or, in oilier ' words, that it ; was not intended to proceed against a poor man for that of which his poverty precluded the payment— penalties to the proba- ble amount of six or seven hundred pounds. Many months had passed away subsequently to the period at which, in due course, 1 should have taken my trial in, the Exchequer Court, w ith all the weight of the Attorney,- General and ( he penal law against a pennylejs defendant ( lie when political hatred of the Whig Editor of the Mercury— the T. J. M. of Bristol publicly de- manded of the government ( he resumption of the Ex hequer prosecution against me. You will believe me when I tell you that on such Editorial call ( he proceedings were resumed against me, and 1 was obliged to give bail for my appearance, to plead the ffrst day of the term ensuing. Meanwhile I was not idle, and I have now the satisfaction of placing before you the result of my appeal to the Right Honourable the Com- missioners of Stamps, the decision of whom I ardently hope you will assist in enabling me to ratify:— TO Mr. JAMES ACLAND. Stamp Office, London, SIR, _ 3rd. Nov. 1829. The^ ommissioners of this revenue having had under consideration vour memorial with regard to the proceedings instituted against you for penalties, for not entering a publica- tion called " The Bristolian " as a Newspaper, and for not printing it on stamps, and also for the duty on certain advertisements insert THE BRISTOLIAN. 2,3 ed therein, I am directed to inform you, that on payment of the advertisement duty amount- ing to £ b. 1 « . & d. and the cost of the proceed- ings (<£ 18. 15*. 6d ) the proceedings against you will be abandoned. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, CHARLES PRESSLV, Those of you who know any thing of my circumstance.', must know thnt this most advan- tageous meihod of settlement is utterly beyond my power; and although I think it disgraceful to beg, I certainly shall not refuse any assistance which ( tiny be proffered me, by those who from a congeniality of principle and superioiity of circumstances, may feel disposed anil able to thoulder ( he waggon nf the well- meaning through the s ouytj of trouble. You are the Jupiter of Your obliged and grateful Servant. JAMES ACLAND. MEM1.— I have thankfully to acknowledge flit reecipt of I0. « . from Mr. N. and i'l. from Mr. H. towards effecting the arrangement with the . Stamp- OJfice. J. A. so deep, and established so firm, that ajl the indictments which so " good and loyal a sub- ject" as he is. can, or will bring against it, will not be able to shake its firmness, nor even to lop - flf one of its branches. I should think that after such a proof as that which he has given, the most sceptical will no longer doubt his guilt. But I must leave honest John to ruminate on the false step he has taken, mere ly taking the liberty of recommending to his serious consideration the pro\ erb at the head of this. Wishing you every success w, hich vou deserve, and soliciting pardon for this intrusion, 1 beg to subscribe myself Sir, Your obedient Servant. Clifton, & th Nov. 1829. M KM.— My correspondent signs his real name, which' however, 1 have suppressed, lest one, who dares to think justly, should, be pounced upon by the persecutor of truth, and the advocate of incarceration for honesty, or a hatred of roguery which is synonymous with honesty of feeling, and akin to honesty of action. J. J. To the EDITOR of THE BRIS TOLIAN. " The Hp of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tonque is but for a moment. " SOR, OMOK. SIR, In your Bristolian of Wednesday last, you stated, that the fact of John Winter's having left ont of his indictment that part of your queries which related to Watis's money, & c. was a manifest plea of guiltv to that worst pait of the questions; nnd what, Sir, I ask is his minner of proceeding againt you bu> an evident plea of guilty to the other parts ? I think I may venture to sav, that although not a legal, yet nothing can be a much more substantial evidence of his guilt than the me- thod of procedure which he has chosen. What reasonable man will suppose him inno- cent, while they consider that he might have taken a course by which he would have esta- blished his innocence and have gratified his favorite passions by gaining damages, and by proving you the " mal cious evil- minded" person, which in his indictment he states you to be? and while they consider that instead of so doing, he has taken the way by which vou are precluded fiom proving the truth of your interogatoi ies. I say no person that has anv regard for the truth, will believe that he is the innocent, harmless, faithful and loving subject" he would have them believe. But John knew too well what the consequences of going to work in that manner would be. He knew too well the unanswerable facts he had to deal with, to adopt the way which would have been the most fair. It were a pity, for his " good name's sake " he did not leave it alone altogether, for in meddling with it he has made it worse. He has only widen- ed the gap ; he has only rooted it deeper and established its notoriety firmer than it was before. Yea, I believe Sir, it is now rooted T0 the EDITOR of the BRISTOLIAN. Oct. 20, 1829. St R, I heard it asserted in a public room yester- day, that you had some papers put into yonr hands some time since, for the purpose of your publishing, but which you have not yet done. I also understood that they related to some lawver, who- e conduct you had before brought before the public. It was likewise hinted that you had been bought off by the parties to whom those papers related. I have thus made \ ou acquainted with what is some- times said in public houses respecting your- self, but the truth of such assertion 1 do not believe. 1 am, Sir, A CONSTANT READER. MEM.— I plead '" ignorance" to the charge here brought aguinst me ; that is, ignorance as to the documents said tp have, been transmitted me. As to the supposition that I have been bribed, I can only attribute such conclusion to the T. J. M., John Winter, and Edward Stephens. For myself, I deny it, and have only to add that any evidence or ground of supposition to the con- trary shall have prompt and full insertion in my memoirs— that I may refute it— and exaet from my slanderer and false accuser some Jive or ten pounds, for distribution among the poor. J. A. To the EDITOR of THE BRISTOLIAN. 10, Dighton- Street, SIR, 5th November, 1829. i In answer to your Memorandum in the last i number of the Bristolian, you are at liberty to apply to Mr. Evans, residing in New- I foundland- lane, and Mr. Maby, of the Upper Arcade, Music- seller, the two gentlemen deputed by John Clark Ridout, to, and who did, with John Clark Ridout, on the 4th instant, go into and examine my security and accounts, and pronounced the validity of the security and the justness of my demand. Your obedient Servant, STEPHEN C. WEBB. MEM — I erpecled Mr. Webb would admit the vali- dity of Ihe tribunal of public opinion, and 1 have not been disappointed. Before / cease my labors, 1 hope all honest men will forego their fallacious claims to * impunity front such Imperial Court. Mr. It'ebb is something more than an acquaintance of mine. But friendship should be unknown to ei public character, who feels the deep responsibility of his situation. I am ihe adcocate of the oppressed— and those who only imagine themselves of this class of unfortunates claim my impartial interference, and are entitled to it. J. A. To JOHN WINTER, The Persecutor of Truth, and the Friend of Fraud. Man of no Religion. I expect answers to the f ollowing queries : 1.— After the fire in Eugene- street, did you not take a house in Gay- street ? 2.— Was not one Catharine Biddle your servant on that occasion ? 3.— Did not your wife reside with her re- lations for awhile at that period ? 4.— Did you not, during her absence, vio- lently assault such servant, with a criminal design ? 5.— Was she not obliged to rim fiom your house, and to remain out all night, foom fear of a repetition of your assault on her person ? 0.— Had not this girl lived with you at the time of the fire in Eugene- street ? 7.— Were not her cloathes destroyed by the fire? 8.— Did not you promise her, that if, by hr oath, you could obtain from the Fire- Office. theamount for which you were insured, you would pay her the value of her property so destroyed ? 9.— Did not her oath answer every pur- pose ? 10.— Have you not ever since refused to pay her one penny of the value of her cloathes ? Your's, constantly, JAMES ACLAND. To THE ASSOCIATED COAL CONSUMERS. Friends, I have purchashd a Cargo of the best Red Ash Newport Coal for your immediate sup- ply.

JAMES A CLAN D. Manager in Trust for the Association. • Office, No. 4, All Saints' Streetj November 2nd, 1829. To the ASSOCIATED BREAD- EATERS. Brother Shareholders, In consequence of circumstances which have transpired in your Committee since your last General Meeting, 1 have deemed it ne- cessary that I should withdraw from the invidious situation of Provisional Secretary. I am now one of the rabble rout," and, without any sinking, I merge into your " common herd," terms, whichj although used by but two of the Committee- men, have been acted upon by at least thrice that num- ber. It is notorious among you that there is a fac- tion in the Committee ; that is, that there is a party who uniformly vote together, and argue together against the merits of the question, and the majority of the Committee. You saw something of this party at your last General Meeting, and I entertained the hoj- e that you would have beard no more of it, and 1 have acted with the determination that, so far as I was concerned, the party- feeling should be destroyed. There are^ however, some minds so singularly constituted, that when once they are chargeable with error, they fear the. adoption i f gwd ; and, in proportion, the advance towards that good. A false shame, lest they should be thought to have been capable of error, drives them to a persistency in error,, and deads them into indeli- ble disgrace. Such 1 conceive to be the case in the pre- sent instance. But, however that may be, I have been treated by them in a manner to which no man of correct feeling can long submit. I * have submitted to the extent of my patience, but so grossly indecent and ungentlemanly was the opposition of this party on Thursday night, to a proposition of sheer justice, that in order to protect my- self from further insult, and itwas, if possible, to secure you from the mischievous . effects of this factious minority of your Committee, that I formally relieved them from my ob- noxious intrusion on their deliberations. I am now at least, at liberty to propose such measures for your adoption as I may deem best calculated to promote your interests. Depend upon it, I shall keep a sharp look- out, and if this faction of your Committee should mislead or bully the we'll meaning majority of that body, be assured I will take good care that you shall have frequent opportunity afforded you of deli- berating and deciding_/ br yourselves. The Association shall not be destroyed if I can prevent it, and that I can, backed by the honest and straight- forward members of your Committee, I have no more doubt, than I have that you pay your three half- pence for the Bristolian to the boy that sells it you. Now, in order that you should know who ate, and who are not, your friends, ( for they who would sacrifice your interests ' from party motives are not yout friends) 1 tell you thet Messrs Essex, Salter, Mondey, Moore, James, Hamley. Hybart, and Alloway, consti- tute the party by whom I have been induced to the step which it was incumbent on me to take, that of mv resignation as your Provi- sional Secretary. Mr. Tripp was the head of this party to the peiiod. of the General Meet- ing; but I must do him the justice to add, that from that erne he has endeavored, with me. to destroy the factious spirit which has nevertheless grown to be a . giant in mischief. These gentlemen compose the speaking strength of your Committee, and it is really impossible that your business can be well transacted so long as they or the majority of them persist one after the other in opposing every motion which may not bear the im- piess of the " faction," emanating from one Of the majority. " Much cry and little wool" will be worth very little tothe Share- hoiders, and if I am not mistaken, the business these great men of the Committee will do in the way of talk, will be so considerable, that it will require a great effort on your own part to get pure flour for your Christmas pud- • dirigs. The fact is, that . I am ' taught by experience, ithat there ate too many in your Commiile w ho would be something more than either you meant them to be, or they . are fitted to become— lords paramount over the " rabble^ rout, " of which 441common herd" I am now an honored member. If the Bread Association Machine were not clogged by so much palaver, its progress w< uld be more accelerated, and its motion much more steady ; but we . shall see anon, for I am endea- vouring to divine motives, and I think I am on the right scent. Your's faithfully, JAMES ACLAND. P. S. In recording the result of your ballot to be agarnst my proposal, that Share- holders should pay less for tbeir bread than Strangers, 1 shall add, that I abstained from demanding a Scrutiny of the Votes on the ground that there weie but slight teasons . for anticipating an early loaf, seeing that the Comici. tee of Management is divided into parties. J. A. COMMITTEE ROOM, November 4, IS29. That the thanks of ihis Committee be trans- mitted to Messrs. Livetts, for the handsome man- ner in which they have refuted making any charge- for the advice given by them to the de- putation, by whom they were consulted.
